WRAPPER FOR BRAID AND SMILAR ARTICLES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led December 10, 1907.

Patented May 26, 1908.

Serial No. 405,857.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUs BAER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, Manhattan, county and State of New York, have invented new and useful 11nprovements in Wrappers for Braid and Simiar Articles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to awrapper ada ted to inclose a package of braid or simi ar articles in such a manner that while the main bod of the braid is effectively protected, a sing e winding of the same is attractively exposed to the purchaser.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a face View of my improved wrapper showing it unfolded 5 Fig. 2 is a face view of a package of braid provided with the wrapper, and Fig. 3 a side view, partly in section, of Fig. 2.

The wrapper is formed of a single piece of material and consists essentially of a central section 10, a pair of side flaps 11, 12, and a pair of end flaps 13, 14. Of these, the central section 10 is of rectangular form and flanked by the rectangular side flaps 11, 12, foldable over the central section on the parallel lines'15, 16. The end flaps 13, 14 project at diagonally opposite ends from the central section and are foldable over the folded side flaps on the lines 17, 18. Each end flap is set back from one of the side flaps by being made of less Width than central section 10, so that a free edge of the central section is formed between such side flap and end flap. Thus, while flap 13 connects with flap 11 at corner 21, it is separated from llap 12 by the length of the exposed edge 19. In like manner flap 14 connects with flap 12, at the diagonally opposite corner 22 and is separated from` flap 11, by the length of the exposed edge 20. The length of the exposed edges 19, 20 should correspond substantially to the Width of the braid 23, to be Wrapped.

In use, the braid is so mounted upon a card l24, that its top winding 25 extends diagrlhe unfolded onally across the latter. wrapper is slipped underneath this top winding and is so positioned that its central section 10 registers with card 24, which should be of substantially the same contour as such section. The side sections 11, 12 are now folded against the back of the package and the end sections 13, 14 are folded over the side sections and are gurnmed thereto. The package being thus closed, will effectively protect the main body of the braid against dust and handling. At the same time .the top winding 25 will pass out of the wrapper through the openings formed along edges 19,

20 and will thus extend over the central sec-` tion 10, so as to be exposed from end to end in an attractive manner. y

I claim:

1. A wrapper for braid and similar arti# cles, comprisin a central section, and a pair of end fla s of ess width than the width of the centra section, to form a pair of opposed free edges on vthe central section adjoining the bases of the end flaps, substantially as specified.

2. A wrapper for braid and similar articles, comprising a central section, a pair of folded side flaps, and a pair of folded end flaps, each end flap being set back from one of the side aps to form a pair of opposed openings on the edge of the central section ad'oining the bases of the end flaps, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at New York city, (Manhattan,) N. Y., this 9th day of December, 1907.

JULIUS BAER.
